Alternate Versions

Instrumental
	This version is identical to the standard version aside from all vocal tracks being removed. It was released on the K-ON! Sakura Kou Keionbu Official Band Yarouyo!!.
Live
	This is the live version played in Light Music!. It is sung by Mio Akiyama and features Sawako Yamanaka filling in for Yui. Azusa plays her own Rhythm Guitar parts, as well as Lead Guitar for the song's main riffs and solo, while Sawako plays Yui's Lead parts in the verses and choruses, and the Rhythm part during the main riffs and solo. The song uses the same recordings as the studio version, but mixed differently to account for some of the lead parts being played by Azusa, and features applause at the end. As with the studio version, it was released on Ho-kago Tea Time's self-titled album.
YuiAzu
	This is the live version played by Yui and Azusa's duet group YuiAzu in Finals!. It is sung by both Yui and Azusa, with Yui singing the first verse, Azusa singing the second, and both singing the choruses together. It is very different to the other versions, being extremely stripped down and adapted to be played by just two electric guitars, and is both slowed down and shortened; it's only 10 seconds shorter than the studio version, but ends after the second chorus. It was released on the K-ON!! Original Soundtrack Vol. 2.
Cassette
	This is the live version recorded (off-screen) for Ho-kago Tea Time's cassette in After School!. It is sung by both Mio and Yui, with Mio singing the first verse, first chorus, and third chorus, while Yui sings the second verse and second chorus. As with the rest of the cassette versions, all instruments and vocals are completely rerecorded, as opposed to most live versions which are usually just mixed differently. It was released on Ho-kago Tea Time's second self-titled album.
